HTML/CSS Coding is an introductory level course that is an excellent starting point for students ages 12 to 17 who wish to learn to code. No prior programming experience is required. This course teaches kids coding using pure code, without any assistance from tools or pre-made components. This is important as most kids coding instruction uses templets that students drag and drop to build an app or web page - an approach that does not result in a student learning to code.

HTML is the world's most common coding language for what is known as "mark-up". This is a structured method of communicating what type of content you want the computer to display. It is a core technology for the web. CSS controls the layout and appearance of a web page. CSS combines typography, color theory, graphics, animation, and page layout to help deliver a site’s message.

The HTML/CSS classes introduce foundation concepts through the use of video. Quizzes and exercises allow students to master these skills and to apply them to real-world problems with the support of a live instructor. Course Worksheets are available for each unit that summarize the concepts being introduced and provide additional exercises. This allows parents to monitor the progress of their student and to understand learning progress.

This course typically takes 12-15 weeks to complete depending on the age of the student. It is a gateway course for our advanced courses in JavaScript, Python and Java as it builds a very complete understanding of core web technologies. This understanding accelerates learning progress in our advanced courses.
